We all know that it has been WAISified, but now it has been HTMLated
(unfortunately it hasn't been WAISified *and* HTMLated, but that comes
later).  The software (simple and easy to use) to build this HTMLated
version of the thesaurus will be available from NCSA's FTP site as
roget-dist-1.1.tar.Z some time.

It can be tested out *in the meantime* as
	http://www.vuw.ac.nz/non-local/gutenberg/roget/home.html
but I urge you to make your own local version of the database, or to
wait for someone closer to you to do so.  As I've said before, we get
it in the wallet for each connection, and the index is 44K.

Report any problems to
	Nathan.Torkington@vuw.ac.nz

Enjoy,
